I'm improving on the basic transcription that SB did. It was basicaly
there, but some of the chords were wrong and I'm showing a few
enhancements. These are subtle changes in the basic chords and a
change in strum. The chord differences are noted below and change
only the tone of what's being played. The strum in the intro and first
verse is using your fingers (i.e. no pick, either your thumb or first
finger). At the second verse he switches to a flat pick.
Chords:

She grabs her magazines, she packs her things and she goes.

He knows, she's been here too few years, to be gone.
D G D Cadd9 G D Cadd9
And we always say, it would be good to go away, someday,
Em D
But if there's nothin' there to make things change,

The trouble understand, is she's got reasons he don't.

Yeah, but still it's much too long, to let hurt go (you let her go).
